Zn-based rod MOFs are fundamentally limited by Zn–O lability and activation-induced structural collapse, accounting for their scarcity. Here, linker curvature rigidifies Zn-rod secondary building units in NTUniv-69A, preventing pore collapse. The framework overturns the conventional C2 hydrocarbon adsorption hierarchy (C2H2 > C2H6 > C2H4), enabling single-step ethylene purification.
